You have nearly done it. You have nearly made it to the top of the charts. You last task is to make the cover for your single, really make it eye catching and get people buying it. The only rule is, you are only allowed to create your pictures using the shapes on the left. Use you imagination and create the best cover that you can. (it may be a good idea to use a ruler)

Fantastic you have made it, you are this weeks number 1 song!!!!!!!!!
